What OS are you working on?

Windows XP.
Comment 3 Tomas Zezula 2007-01-04 10:55:44 UTC 
As far as I know the NTFS is not case sensitive. It's only case preserving.
Comment 4 Jan Becicka 2007-08-07 13:37:59 UTC 
P4 IMO
Comment 5 David Strupl 2009-03-31 15:57:07 UTC 
Resolving all issues with milestone "future" as LATER. If you feel strongly that
it should be implemented please reopen and set the target milestone to "next".
